September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month. 🩵💜

Talking about su***de can feel scary for parents, but one of the most important things we can do is make sure our kids know:
“You can tell me the hard things.”

Sometimes emotional pain doesn't look like sadness. It can look like:
🚩 Anger
🚩 Withdrawal
🚩 Irritability
🚩 Loss of interest
🚩 Hopelessness
🚩 Changes in sleep or eating
🚩 Feeling like a burden
🚩 “I don't care anymore.”

And when we're concerned, we don't have to dance around the question.
We can ask:
“Have you been thinking about hurting yourself or dying?”
Asking doesn't put the idea in their head (that's a myth)

Remember, it all boils down to this:
💗 Connection matters.
💗 Listening matters.
💗 Asking matters.
💗 Getting help matters.

This month, let's remind our children that they don't have to carry hard things alone.
You don't have to be a perfect parent. You just have to be willing to stay connected.

Hoping we hear this with an open heart and mind ❤️

Parenting will expose your ego. Because sometimes your child’s behavior isn’t the only thing that needs correcting, your reaction does too.

Sometimes the hardest part of parenting isn’t correcting our children, it’s allowing God to correct us.

If your identity depends on your child obeying perfectly, never questioning you, or making you look like a “good parent,” parenting will constantly feel like a personal attack.

A parent with a fragile ego sees correction as disrespect. A humble parent sees it as an opportunity to grow.

Jesus didn’t call us to raise children who protect our pride. He called us to lead with love, humility, grace, truth, and wisdom.

Our children don’t need perfect parents. They need parents who can say, “I was wrong. I’m sorry. Let’s try again.”

Parenting isn’t about proving we’re always right. It’s about reflecting Christ, even when our pride gets uncomfortable. ❤️

“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” — James 4:6

Hey parents, are you worth following?

That may be a hard question to hear but it's a necessary one to reflect on

When I'm working with kids or teens, I'm also working with parents. Most parents want a quick fix for their child, but a lot of the times it takes adjusting and fixing on the parents end before there is REAL change in the child.

I'm not saying we have to be perfect as parents.

I am saying we must take responsibility as parents as a part of the healing journey for our kids

Are you parenting with Intention? Do you work on repairing when you make a mistake? Are you willing to be open minded to change?

Let's be parents worth following so we can create healthy habits that are children want to repeat ❤️

Back to school time 👏🏽

That can bring excitement, anxiety, sadness etc...All kinds of range of emotions 😵‍💫

There is one thing as parents that we can always do no matter what, and that is pray over our kids. I'm sharing this fun graphic with easy ways to start praying as you enter this school year 🙌🏽

Something else to add, pray over your heart and patience as a parent. A new year can be hard and may bring about new issues. Praying over your heart and reactions is vital as well

Happy School year! 🎊

We are right in the middle of Summer!! ☀️

Summer is supposed to be fun… so why can it also feel so hard right now? 😭

If your child is having more meltdowns, pushing back more, or just seems off, you’re not imagining it and you’re definitely not alone. ❤️

For many kids, summer can actually feel overwhelming, not relaxing for several reasons such as these--

There’s less structure
More transitions
More screen time
Less sleep

All of these things can lead to one thing: dysregulation 😵‍💫

Check out my latest blog post ⬇️ where I talk through this and give you some practical tips 👏🏽👍🏽

Summer is supposed to feel fun, free, and relaxed. However, for many families it can quickly become overwhelming, dysregulating, and exhausting. If you’ve found yourself wondering, “Why is my child struggling more now than during the school year?” you are not alone.Let’s talk about what’s ...
